Schoenfeld and McPherson will make their Broadway debut with “Brooklyn.” Theirs is one of the more unusual collaborations in showbiz history.

In 1982, Schoenfeld hired McPherson, a cabaret singer, to record his music. Years later, McPherson saw Schoenfeld performing on a Brooklyn street corner and, since he was now homeless, she invited him to live with her family in New Hampshire. “Brooklyn” is inspired by, if not based on, their story.

In the tuner, a band of street performers tell the story of a young girl in search of her father.

Producers Four’s previous Broadway effort was “Sixteen Wounded,” which recently closed on Broadway after a short run. Benjamin Mordecai (“King Hedley II”) is producing manager of the new legit org.
